What is your favourite book? Treasure Island
What does love feel like? The highest high and the lowest low.
What's the worst job you've ever done? I graded papers for a professor in college. It bored me.

When did you last cry and why? A little over two years ago after looking at a wedding album of two people madly in love and one had died about six months after the wedding.
What is the closest you've come to death? When I was around 10, I almost drown.
How would you like to be remembered? I always did good staff work.
What is the most important lesson life has taught you? Don't be afraid to love.
